Are the small number of commits hard to the UofA or BB or their position coach?

Would an early BB exit help considering we get a good/great hire?

I'll hang up and listen.

I can't say for all of them, but you'd have to think they would be commits to the school as much as anything. They don't live in a bubble and they have to know that a change is inevitable. That being said, I also know that Norvell has been recruiting several of the kids including Connor Nowland. I don't think it matters as much with that kid though as I think he wants to be a diamond hog as much as a qb, which is awesome.

2. The impact will probably be greater on the current roster than recruiting. A change in coaching usually results in a change in philosophy. There will be some players who might transfer due to style. That is not necessarily a bad thing.

I've seen where one recruiting "guru" said he thought at least 6 would stay no matter who the coach was, I'm assuming he was thinking no JLS hire.....

Not sure why Norvell would perform at recruiting any better than CBB. Maybe a little excitement about being the new guy, but he'll still be a relative unknown to most recruits...selling his success at Memphis. I like the guy, and think he *might* make a good HC at Arkansas, but I doubt he recruits any better than CBB...unless he goes all Freeze on us.

No....I don't because Long isn't going to make the decision this time.

And there are some voices for Gus. The anti Gus people ain't got a dog in the fight this time.

The $$$$ doesn’t want Gus, so no Gus. We won’t be looking backwards. Gus has 0.0%. His name may be floated, but if they beat Georgia, it won’t even be floated. Unless, something drastic changes it’ll most likely be Norvell or Neal Brown.

Don't be so sure about Gus. He has more support than you apparently realize. And yes, I know a lot of the $$$$.

Better than the last 2 or 3 regimes? I doubt it. That's the most heavily recruited area in Texas, and I see no reason to be optimistic about an unknown coach being successful out of the gate. Maybe he'll develop it, but I don't think that'll be the case on day 1... or year 1. Someone with an immediate recruiting impact is more likely to be someone who has name recognition with a record of success at a big program. If you look at Long's coaching hires over his career, he goes after big names...and yes, I think he will be the guy doing the hiring if/when there's an opening. It would be a departure of sorts for him to hire someone like Norvell. We'll see. If CBB isn't fired, Hogville will become a fantastic spectator sport. If he is fired, Hogville is at its best during the hiring process. It's going to be an interesting next several weeks, regardless.

There’s no scenario where Gus leaves Auburn to come here, but if he’s fired it may be mentioned. If he wins against Auburn or Alabama there’s no way he’ll be fired. Not sure why his name has been mentioned so much lately, nor how he has gained support in the last couple of weeks. Apparently, something has changed. I’d be amazed if it happened. I think he splits the fan base, and other reasons keep him from ever coming here. Time will tell.

The good thing is that we are looking at a change. After this mess of a season I'd take anyone as an improvement. But the names being tossed around are all great coaches. I'm happy. Things are looking up.

Well, he has been a HC for more then two years and has coached in the SEC. Much better credentials then a C-USA coach who has only been HC for 2 years. I personally don't want Gus but we could do much worse. I don't think he'll be able to repeat what what he did at Auburn but he'll have some good years before he is ran out of Arkansas.
